Crazy Patches

Just 4 small blocks.  The fabrics are old and tea or coffee dyed to give them a nice aged warmth.  There is a piece of a table napkin lace, a scrap of ecclesiastical embroidery my Mom made in the 60's, a cross stitch on a linen napkin, and my own embroidered butterfly.  Pieces of an old apron, a dog ragged scrap of a good old dog's neck scarf, old buttons, lace and trim.   I have not done the traditional stitching over it, but I still might!

Fresh Little Quilt

I just adore the green background and border fabric I used on this charm pack quilt of half square triangles.  It could easily be a baby quilt or a wall quilt celebrating the colors and feel of spring!  40 charms, 40 green 5" squares, 3" borders, and it's done!

Alaskan Fireweed

This wall quilt features the Alaskan Native flower, Fireweed.  There is a little poem about the end of fireweed's season when the beautiful red blooms turn white and fluffy.  My friend Sharon brought me the fireweed fabric from Alaska when she went there for a vacation.  t's a very simple "3 color quilt" made with large blocks and goes together in only a couple hours.  I'll hang it after Labor Day to signal the summer's end.
